Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The art movement known as Impressionism has not always been as popular as it is today. When it first emerged in France in the last decades of the 19th century, critics reacted harshly, and few paintings were acquired by museums. This book, published to accompany a 1999 exhibition in the USA, explores how Impressionist works made their way into European museums: who collected them, when, and why - and why not. Extensively illustrated, the book presents both scholarly information and anecdote.
